Jovan Belcher And Adam Lanza Were Not Militias: Shut Up About The Second Amendment
Two weeks ago, in the aftermath of the Jovan Belcher murder-suicide, Bob Costas went on national television and said some sensible things about guns, and lots of people—some of them on this very site—responded with all the predictable idiot lowing. This was bad enough, but the true measure of how fu...

While Calling Game Involving Sub-.500 Team, Jeff Van Gundy Says Sub-.500 NBA Teams Shouldn't Be On TV
Midway through last night's snoozer of a Lakers-Thunder matchup—one OKC walked away with to the tune of 114-108—ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy poked fun at competitor NBA TV's sub-par national broadcast lineup. He has a point; NBA TV's national games have been far from the spotlight matchups of those...

Bob Costas: The Shill Becomes A Journalist [UPDATE]
Taking potshots at Bonnie Bob Costas, America's premier sports broadcaster, is a national pastime almost as popular as the spectacles he fronts. And why not? In these cheesy and uncertain times, he seems too comfortable, too confident and, at 60, too cute. He does his job better than you will ever d...
West Virginia Student Mascot Shoots A Bear; Bear Falls Out Of A Tree; Everyone Hollers
According to the YouTube description, this is Jonathan Kimble, the senior who's spending this year as the Mountaineer, WVU's (human) mascot. The costume includes coonskin cap, buckskin jacket, and a usually-unloaded musket. It's black bear season and Kimble proved, at the expense of a bear driven ...
Tim Duncan And Tony Parker Mock-Executed Their Referee Nemesis Joey Crawford On Halloween
From what we can tell, this photo only started making the rounds yesterday, even though the Spurs night out on Halloween had been well-documented otherwise. These are the same costumes Tim Duncan and Tony Parker wore then—Duncan as the Punisher, because of course he'd pick a relatively obscure comi...
Here's A Radio Ad Using Smooth R&B To Sell Tactical Firearms To Women
The Paul Finebaum radio program is a must-listen on Mondays after Alabama losses, but almost as good as the panicked redneck phone calls are Finebaum’s advertisers. Here’s one we’re told has been running a few months, from Hoover’s Tactical Firearms in Birmingham. (That’s the gun range that made ne...
The 76ers' T-Shirt Gun Looks Capable Of Ending A Human's Life
The terrifying weapon above is Big Bella, the Philadelphia 76ers' t-shirt gun (or so they claim). It can shoot 100 t-shirts in 60 seconds. Fans will probably be too busy ducking in fear to catch anything, though....
Things We Cannot Endorse: This Gary Bettman Shooting Range Target
I am every bit as frustrated about the lockout as you are. I am a hockey fan, and also I would rather suck on an antifreeze lollipop than write about escrow payments. But I'm also a pussy coastal liberal and am slightly uncomfortable with people pointing guns at even a caricature of another person, ...
Shirtless Horse Jogger Now Has A Challenger: Shirtless Unicorn Rollerblader
While much of the East Coast cowers at the approach of Hurricane Sandy, some people are just carrying on like it's just another day to exercise shirtlessly while wearing a frightening mask....
Did The NBA Block Stan Van Gundy From Going To ESPN? Jeff Van Gundy Thinks So
Recently, former NBA coach Stan Van Gundy called David Stern a dick, among other things. Van Gundy disparaging Stern isn't a rare occurrence, as the two have a less-than-amicable relationship. But did Stern take revenge by influencing ESPN into rescinding their job offer to Van Gundy? Jeff Van Gund...
David Booth Hath Slain The Goatbeast
Some NHL players are spending their lockout in European leagues. Canucks winger David Booth? Well, he killed that....
A Hornets Executive Somehow Flew Out Of New Orleans With A Loaded Handgun
As anyone who's flown anywhere in the last decade or so knows, flying can be a pain in the ass. So many restrictions on what you can and can't bring, not to mention that dreary routine of removing your belt and shoes and the loaded .38 that's registered under your wife's name. Unless you're the Horn...
The NBA Is Finally Doing Something About Flopping
It's been a big story over the past few seasons: NBA players—in increasingly large numbers, rather than in isolated instances of Divacs and Lambieers and Reggie Millers—had outsmarted the league and taken advantage of the difficulty on officiating NBA games by just falling on the floor all the tim...
Beer of the Week: 1488 Premium Whisky Beer
The first time I tried a beer that had been aged in whiskey casks was in Scotland, at some Edinburgh pub where I'd asked for something tasty and local. The barkeep brought me an Innis & Gunn, instantly melting my brain. It was like the love child of ale and brown liquor, and possibly the only settin...
Deadspin's Sign of the Apocalypse
It was with no small degree of concern that Deadspin noted the lack of a Sign of the Apocalypse in this week's Sports Illustrated. Until August, the magazine had been chronicling the demise of Western civilization via sports news of the weird at least as far back as 1993, when it noted that "David C...
The Savannah State Athletic Director Sure Does Hate His Football Team
Or least that's the way it looks in the short-term. Partly as an investment in the future, Savannah State has offered itself up as a cupcake to far better teams this season, and has proven itself thus far a rich, artisanal cupcake, with delicate pink frosting and cinnamon accents. The program's fir...
Here's A Washington Nationals Fan Firing A Gun From His Car While Driving
This is probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen committed to pixels. This one has it all. We have this spider web-faced genius firing his gun out his window in a residential neighborhood, speeding through a residential neighborhood, pulling over so he can show the camera his other, bigge...
